Nathalia Show returns

The headline entertainment will be Toby the T-Rex and the rest of the crew from Real Live Dinosaurs. Toby and friends will be on site from 10am to 1pm.

On the competition side, Nathalia Show boasts a full horse program with six rings, including two open show rings, harness, pony club/fun ring, Racing Victoria’s Off the Track classes, DEVA, HRCAV official ring and some special supreme champion classes and prizes.

The All Breeds Dairy Cattle show has had a revamp with some prizes and even plenty of classes for the young cattle buffs to get involved.

The home crafts pavilion is brimming with classes for all ages and interests, with a special Dino-themed spin throughout all sections - from cooking to garden produce, woodwork to flowers, LEGO to school displays.

LEGO is sure to be an attraction with the dinosaur theme. Other competitions on the day include Pet Parade, the motorbike competition and prime lambs.

Entertainment wise, the Society says it has invested in plenty of free entertainment for the kids (and the big kids).

Highlights include the Real Live Dinosaur crew and Black Snake, who are bringing their fabulous Australian wildlife display.

Dookie Lions Club is bringing the mini train, and there will be face painting for the kids.

Animal Nursery will be located in the cattle pavilion, and there will be static displays of vintage Harry Ferguson tractors, trucks and other historic vehicles, and even some ploughing displays across the day.

There will also be many traders coming along including market and community group stalls, lots of food and drink choices, show bags and a jumping castle.

The official proceedings and Show Quest, including best dinosaur outfit, will be held at 11am.

At $15 for adults, $5 for kids and preschoolers free, the Nathalia Show is an affordable day out for the whole family with plenty of free things to do once inside.
